CHARACTERISTICS OF MESOSCALE PRECIPITATION PATTERNS

Physical Geography, 1986
The spatial distribution of rainfall within two mesoscale areas, one a coastal plain, the other hilly, was studied by computing the standard deviation between the daily accumulations at the stations within each area (called the Index of Nonuniformity, INU).

Derivation of the thermal characteristics of mesoscale eddies

Acta Oceanologica Sinica, 2017
This study aims at explaining the relationship between thermodynamic characteristics and direction of rotation of mesoscale eddies (MEs). The geometric characteristics of the MEs are under the following assumptions: the structure of the MEs is symmetrical, and changes of oceanic physical variables are close to linear features in the radial direction in

Variation characteristics of mesoscale lakes in the Tibetan Plateau

2023
Known as “Water Tower of Asia”, the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is widely distributed with numerous inflow lakes. Lakes on the TP are less affected by human actives and can be considered as a sensitive indicator of climate change, changes of lakes can well reflect the change of regional climate.

Robust parametric models of runoff characteristics at the mesoscale

Journal of Hydrology, 2005
Many hydrologic studies report that runoff characteristics such as means or extremes of a given basin may be modified due to climatic and/or land use/cover changes and that the magnitude of these changes largely depends on the geographic location and the scale at which the study is carried out.

Mesoscale characteristics of a rare severe hailstorm event

Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics, 2019
This study analyzed the environmental field, physical quantify fields, convection parameters and radar echo characteristics of a severe hailstorm that occurred on June 18, 2013, due to a mesoscale convective system. The analysis was performed using ground meteorological data, sounding data and GFS-ANL (gfs 0.5° × 0.5°) reanalysis data in combination ...

Precipitation Characteristics of Mesoscale Convective Weather Systems

Journal of Climate and Applied Meteorology, 1987
Abstract Precipitation from 74 mesoscale convective complexes is examined to determine the total precipitation, areal extent, and characteristic precipitation pattern of an average convective complex. The relationship between the average precipitation pattern and the track of the centroid of the satellite-observed, cold-cloud shield is determined as an

Mesoscale Contact Characteristics under Current Transfer

2008 14th Symposium on Electromagnetic Launch Technology, 2008
Sliding metal-on-metal wear experiments were conducted at the meso-scale within a controlled environment chamber to evaluate the influence of current density, polarity, and humidified gas on system wear behavior. A meso-scale friction tester (MFT) was modified by enclosing the apparatus with an environmental chamber used for introducing humidified ...

Characteristics of Mesoscale Precipitation Bands in Southern Finland

Monthly Weather Review, 1989
Abstract A large amount of observational material, consisting of more than 3000 hours of radar measurements from about 1 50 cyclones has been analyzed to discover the characteristic features of banded structures in extratropical cyclones in southern Finland. All previously classified types of rain- and snowbands have been observed.

Lightning characteristics of derecho producing mesoscale convective systems

Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics, 2015
Derechos, or widespread, convectively induced wind storms, are a common warm season phenomenon in the Central and Eastern United States. These damaging and severe weather events are known to sweep quickly across large spatial regions of more than 400 km and produce wind speeds exceeding 121 km h−1.
